Every gift purchased from this collection benefits the Farmers of Smile Farms, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting adults with developmental disabilities. Founded in 2015, Smile Farms focuses on providing meaningful vocational, educational, and employment opportunities that generate pride, enhance life skills, and offer socialization experiences.

“Like many other nonprofits, Smile Farms has faced significant challenges during a time when our efforts were more needed than ever before,” says Diana Martin, managing director of Smile Farms. “1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. has long supported Smile Farms in its mission to foster new opportunities for people with disabilities. We feel so fortunate to be the recipients of their innovative approach to giving back, especially this year.

“The Smile Farms Collection encapsulates the value both 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Smile Farms place on connection, community, and celebrating our differences,” she continues. “We are grateful to every person who shops from this collection — they are making a true difference with each dollar.”

About Smile Farms

Photo of Smile Farms group

Smile Farms is the signature philanthropic partner of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. It was started by the company’s founder, Jim McCann, and his brother, CEO Chris McCann.

The McCanns’ brother, Kevin, lives in a group home on Long Island run by the Independent Group Home Living Program (IGHL), and the CEO of that program, Walter Stockton, had mentioned to Jim that he was having trouble finding work for residents.

Jim was happy to help, but when he scanned the local job market, he discovered that there were, indeed, few options for people with developmental disabilities. That led to him opening the first Smile Farms campus in 2015.

Smile Farms

Today, Smile Farms has eight campuses in the New York area and plans to open two more this year, on Long Island and Staten Island. Smile Farms has expanded its partnerships to include nonprofits that serve not only individuals with developmental disabilities but those with other disabilities as well.

Smile Farms creates meaningful opportunities at local farms, urban gardens, and greenhouses for hundreds of adults and youth with different abilities. There, they can grow and sell flowers, plants, and produce in the communities in which they live. Almost none of the farmers have worked before, so their jobs at Smile Farms represent the first time they are able to experience the satisfaction of mastering new skills, the pleasure of contributing to their team and community, and the thrill of taking home a paycheck.
